Abstract
A display module for displaying information on a screen, using a display data structure, wherein the display data structure is a doubly linked list. A display space in defined in video memory and the display space is filled by sequentially copying at least a portion of a set of characters from the display data structure into the video memory.
Claims5
A method for displaying information on a computer display, comprising:
- using a display data structure, wherein said display data structure is doubly linked list;
- defining a display space in video memory;
- and
- filling said display space by sequentially copying at least a portion of a set of characters from said display data structure into said video memory;
- wherein said computer display is represented as a predefined segment of central memory and represented by lines and columns.
A method for displaying information on a computer display, comprising:
- using a display data structure, wherein said display data structure is doubly linked list;
- defining a display space in video memory;
- and
- filling said display space by sequentially copying at least a portion of a set of characters from said display data structure into said video memory;
- wherein said copying starts from a first character of a line of the display data structure, and wherein said first character of said line is variable.
A method for displaying information on a computer display, comprising:
- using a display data structure, wherein said display data structure is doubly linked list;
- defining a display space in video memory;
- and
- filling said display space by sequentially copying at least a portion of a set of characters from said display data structure into said video memory;
- wherein said display data structure comprises at least one line and a length of said line is variable.
A display system for managing and presenting information on a screen display, comprising:
- a computer coupled to said screen display and having a processing unit and a central memory, wherein said central memory further comprises a video memory;
- and
- a display module operating on said computer for filling a display space in the video memory, wherein said information is stored in a plurality of data structure elements linked by a distinct doubly linked list of pointers, wherein at least some of said data structure elements are copied to video memory one character at a time, and wherein at least a portion of said display space is modified in said video memory.
A display system for managing and presenting information on a screen display, comprising:
- a computer coupled to said screen display and having a processing unit and a central memory, wherein said central memory further comprises a video memory;
- and
- a display module operating on said computer for filling a display space in the video memory, wherein said information is stored in a plurality of data structure elements linked by a distinct doubly linked list of pointers, wherein at least some of said data structure elements are copied to video memory one character at a time, and wherein the display module performs at least one of adding at least a portion of one or more new data structure elements to said display space in said video memory and removing at least a portion of one or more of said data structure elements from said display space in said video memory.
